Noise Abatement

Runway:Applies to:Approach/Departure:Text:
All All Aircraft Both Safety always comes first
All All Aircraft Both Intersection takeoffs, stop-and-go, formation, takeoffs/landings and simulated single engine departures or go-arounds are prohibited.
All All Aircraft Both Touch-and-go operations are prohibited between 2130 and 0600
All All Aircraft Both Engine maintenance run-ups are permitted only at the blast fence located at the north end of the Kilo Ramp (west of A18). Prohibited between 2200 - 0700 except emergencies
All All Aircraft Both Runway weight restriction is 75,000 lbs. max certificated takeoff weight. With prior permission, the takeoff weight restriction may be lifted up to 100,000 lb. Contact Airport Operations at 480-312-8478.
21 All Aircraft Departure Make right turn to 335 degrees
All All Aircraft Departure Climb as high as possible before leaving airport boundaries.
All All Aircraft Approach Fly high and tight patterns. Follow the 4 degree PAPI.
All All Aircraft Approach Discourage descents below 2,500 msl during practice approaches
21 All Aircraft Departure Encourage right turns as soon as practical. Discourage straight-out and left turns on departure from RWY 21
All All Aircraft Both Use NBAA Standard Noise Abatement Departure procedures or comparable procedure from aircraft manufacturer.
All All Aircraft Both Follow AOPA Noise Awareness Steps. Avoid direct overflight of residential areas when possible.
All All Aircraft Both AOPA NOISE AWARENESS STEPS If practical, avoid noise-sensitive areas. Make every effort to fly at or above 2,000 feet over such areas when overflight cannot be avoided. • Consider using a reduced power setting if flight must be low because of cloud cover or overlying controlled airspace or when approaching the airport of destination. Propellers generate more noise than engines; flying with the lowest practical RPM setting will reduce aircraft noise substantially. • Perform stalls, spins, and other practice maneuvers over uninhabited terrain. • Familiarize yourself and comply with airport noise abatement procedures. • On takeoff, gain altitude as quickly as possible without compromising safety. Begin takeoffs at the start of a runway, not at an intersection. • Use PAPI. This will indicate a safe glide path and allow a smooth, quiet descent to the runway. (4 degrees at Scottsdale Airport) • Retract the landing gear either as soon as a landing straight ahead on the runway can no longer b

    Just FYI. Utilizing transient parking was easy. No fee for the parking. Nominal overnight fee, paid on your honor. Easy exit / entry on west side of Aviation Business Center.

    Flew into KSDL yesterday. Was pleasantly surprised that traffic was very light, albeit, it was already 96 degrees at 6:30 AM. In all my years of flying (50 plus) I was never told that painted yellow "T's" are usually transient "free" parking. This wa…
